I have created my XML file and tested it in a browser, when i load it into Flash MX however all the apostrophes become '.

I have tried toggleing between ‘Render as HTML’ on the dynamic text box and it doesn’t make a difference.

I know this question has probably been asked a million times before, but i need help.

Thanx

Siboy

If you use nodeValue it should output the right characters.

For exampel: doc\_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].nodeValue

I think it only works if your xml node is a CDATA section!

Hope it helps!
